Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.

Along 66, March 2018: Neon Park and Sister Jean

MARCH 28-- Update on the Route 66 Neon Park in St. Roberts, Missouri. They are hoping to have three refurbished signs up and shining by Spring 2019.

MARCH 30-- On the Road with Sister Jean. With Loyola University in Chicago going to the Final Four for the first time in 55 years and the whole of the Chicago being all fired up about it, the CBS affiliate sent a team on the road to San Antonio. They have a cutout poster of Sister Jean and are photographing her at stops along the way.

One stop was at Lincoln, Illinois, where they shot her by the giant Lincoln in a wagon. They also showed The Mill and an interview with Geoffrey Ladd.
